for an affordable MADI format solution, with 16,32 or 64 channels of audio at respective sample rates of 48, 96 and 192 kHz, the HDSPe MADI card can be combined with up to two more, providing up to 192 I/O Channels of audio.

The PCI Express card consequently uses all advantages of the MADI format and is based on the original HDSP MADI (Standard PCI version), the professionals' multi-Channel audio interface, offering 64 channels of 24-bit audio at a sample rate of up to 48 kHz, 32 channels at up to 96 kHz and 16 channels at up to 192 kHz. Transmission is done via a single line, either coaxial with BNC plugs or by fiber cable. In both cases more than 100 m cable length can be achieved.

Some new featured improvements to this design:

Support of sample rates above 96 kHz

More features in TotalMix (phase and internal loopback per channel, +6 dB gain for the hardware outputs)

Time Code Option support

Lower latencies, perfect for live recording and live mixing applications

HDSPe MADI is fully compatible to all devices with MADI interface. In combination with the ADI-648 an 8 x ADAT optical PC interface is realized, unbeatable in price and performance. With the ADI-6432 a bidirectional AES/EBU frontend with 64 channels is available.
